Furthremore, Chainalysis aims to serve its clients which includes Governments and Law officials to allow for the implementation of global regulations in the world.

“We have been investing for the last year to re-architect our entire platform to support multiple blockchains in the face of global regulation.” He added, “Global regulation of the cryptocurrency industry is inevitable for this truly borderless financial system to achieve mainstream adoption.”

Chainalysis’s intelligence platform can help track cyber crime accused through their surveillance mechanism. Moreover, they also provide a secure platform for KYC and AML verification for the Cryptocurrency Exchanges and Financial Institutions.

While privacy-centric people have raised voices against global surveillance, Chainalysis’s inclusion in the cryptocurrency markets is imperative for Government and other even low enforcers to have a third party independent source for verification and tracking of transactions.
